Et oltre al mio destino, io ci fui spinta by Vincenzo Ruffo — Lyrics
Et oltre al mio destino, io ci fui spinta
da le parole altrui degne di fede:
somma felicità mi fu dipinta,
ch’esser dovea di questo amor mercede.

About Et oltre al mio destino, io ci fui spinta
This Italian madrigal for SAAT voices comes from the Renaissance period. The text explores a speaker's lament about being persuaded into a love affair through what seems to have been deceit. Despite the potential for betrayal, the speaker finds herself unable to withdraw from her feelings for Ruggier. Vincenzo Ruffo’s setting captures the complex emotions of the poem, making it a compelling choice for a secular program seeking expressive Renaissance part-music.
